: Loop recorder also known as implantable cardiac monitor is a prolonged monitor placed underneath your skin. It would be able to monitor you for up to four (4) years for Brady- tachy- arrhythmias, namely pauses, extra beats, supraventricular tachycardia, atrial fibrillation, and ventricular arrhythmias.
